Simmons seems to create problems for both of our young pillars. If we want wing stopper there are cheaper options. What is the role for Simmons on that championship contender ?
Use Simmons as the screener and let him make plays in the short roll sometimes. Let him lead fast breaks and bring the ball up sometimes. Let him facilitate from the elbows sometimes. Use him in the dunker spot sometimes.
He can do different things. Get creative.
He is below average roller, below average in transition. Dunker spot and elbows seem like better idea but i dont see huge upgrade over Carter. So how much are we willing to trade for massively overpaid 4th-5th option with character issues ?
I get the character issues. It's a concern. I'd want to have a very good talk with him before I'd consider bringing him in.
The guy has averaged 11.5 2-point field goal attempts per game since he entered the NBA and his efficiency on those shots is north of 56%. That just absurdly good.
I get the concerns, but he is a very good basketball player. He isn't a fourth or fifth option for anyone.
